I was reading the site "It Made My Day" and I thought it would be nice to mention such moments here.

Today was the first meeting of Students for Secular Free Thought and we're already a sizeable groups. That made my day.
Also, it seems the benefit show we're throwing this Friday has been well received.

I had a wonderful conversation with one of my mother's friends who I have become rather close with as she has a lot of the same problems that I do. It was just nice to get that validation that you can only get when someone who has been where you are tells you that you really are doing well and that the plan you have is a good one.

Okay. Enough being sidetracked. Today, my boss actually gave me a chocolate bar! That made my day. So, I told her she should go as Elvira for Hallowe'en and she told me that made HER day. (Well, she's tall enough to pull it off).

I put a young couple off buying a goldfish and a bowl to put it in, explained how large they are supposed to get and why a bowl will kill the fish so they'll end up wasting money coming back for replacements if they get that setup. They seemed convinced so I'm satisfied.

I also discovered the art of cloud watching and interpretation is called Nephomancy and realised I've been doing it all my life without knowing why or what it was called. Spiffy.

What made my day? Well, during paidea at my school, we had to find a quiet spot and write poetry. I found a lovely spot, became overwhelmed, wrote drastic poetry, and was one of the few who passed.
Then I just ate a left over cup cake from my brother's birthday.

Somehow a msn discussion about anarchy led to talking about Gandhi which lead to talking about weird things he did which led to the story of Gandhi having a wet dream and he got depressed about it. Which lead to: "It had something to do with his religion, by being celibate they retain spiritual power, and so by jizzing himself he lost spiritual power." "So jizzing was Gandhi's kryptonite?" "Yes. Well, jizzing and bullets."

I'll probably go to hell now but it made my day, I'm still laughing about it.
